Hey, how do I disable cpu rendering in the stock 4.3 rom for the FLO? I am rooted and everything and know alot about android. I know its possible for every android device and using GPU for rendering the UI will increase performance greatly. Does anyone know how or is there a kernel/mod that i can flash?

It's in the settings under the dev options. My question is, How slow is your N7 running that you think you need to do this?

I know there might already be an answer to my question but if been searching for 2 hrs and can't find it.
Can anyone point me to a Kernel which can be used with the ROM in the title?

you can use only the stock one, cause the JB kernel's source code hasn't been released yet....

I have found what was wrong, it was the battery saver app under-clocking the CPU .
Just some info in case anyone else has/had the same question

HTC's ****
i actually find the power saving feature more power consuming(aside from brightness and vibration), i think it causes all processors to start up at lower frequency rather than 1 cpu at high frequency.

Hey, i have this problem from the begining...
So i have android version 4.2.2.
I'm running phone on franco Kernel 3.0.85 with Paranoidandroid Rom 3.56, Also i use app to OC my phone to 1,6ghz.
So everything is okay expect gaming , example when i play temple run 2 and i set on the best quality it will not run smooth you can see lags ingame and i think this phone should run it easily.
I was reading forum but i didn't found any solution for my problem, i tried to find busfreq_static with following informations :
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/busfreq_static
but there's no busfreq_static file when i enter to cpufreq directory , i use File Explorer just to check am i able to find busfreq_static file but i can't.
Any solution , any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I already know you OC, but you overclock controlling voltages yourself, or rather you rely on SR to do it for you?

first, dont OC to 1.6!! the following may help you:
go to Settings and click on Developer Options and enable Force 4x MSAA. Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a technique used to improve image quality. Since the Gnex has a GPU capable of supporting MSAA. Keep in mind this will also cause your GPU to work harder and your device may get hotter and consume more power than normal. It’s also possible that all games may not support this.

I'ts not problem about OC , even if i set to 1,2ghz there are no changes , i just dont know what could be the problem , cuz the game runs smooth on other phone which is not good as this one , thats weird , im not controlling voltages , i didn't touch anything.

No , it didnt help. I already tried it before , but when i Force 4x MSAA it just makes game more lagy , maybe cuz of game , anyway i gave an example Temple Run 2 , but even other 3D games are laging , why shouldnt I OC to 1.6 , could brick phone or ?
It can blow up your cat. If it's the same with 1.2GHz... Why are you OC'ing? Go do some reading on voltage control and smartreflex on 4460.
Something tells me you're forgetting basics on how to OC on this device. If you don't supply enough voltage for all the cpu steps, device will stutter and lag, might even reboot.

Well i guess i need to put higher voltage when i am OC-ing , and how much voltage should i use for 1,2ghz , default ? Or incrase to higher voltage value ? Tell me something more about it , cuz im not well informed

first thing you need to do is disable SmartReflex® across the board, so that your user-defined voltages stick.
messing with voltages is very device-specific. increment voltage by small ammounts, stress-test and use the device for a while to make sure it's stable.
have you tried running those games while running Google's stock kernel?

I guess that stock kernel is : JOP40C kernel ? Am i right , i didnt try that kernel , you suggest me to flash this JOP40C kernel and to try if something will be fixed ?

Do you even know anything about ROMs and kernels?
When I said have you tested this on stock kernel, I meant, did you try this on stock ROM, but specified kernel because, it's like, common knowledge for someone who flashes ROMs, that custom ROMs devs often alter kernel (and ramdisk) to support features on their custom roms..
Have you for example tried reflashing PA, and just PA, nothing else? Does it lag then?
Have you for example tried fully reverting back to stock? (factory images)
Why is it that you just want your games not to lag, not even trying to gain a deeper understanding about what people are telling you.
Listen, this is the last time I'm saying this:
I told you to check your voltages, since you're OC'ing, and expecting SR to do the job for you.
Test by reflashing again PA, with no custom kernel.
Test by going back to stock, through fastboot/factory images.
Temple Run 2 on best quality lags in mine too.Probably it was designed for 1080p.Just keep the graphics a little lower, doesn't affect gameplay or quality

I'm not really looking for anything in particular, I just like modding and improving my Nexus 7. Are there any true advantages to a custom kernel that will increase performance and productivity? I know there's kernels which allow overclocking, I'm not sure if it's worth it when in comparison with battery life. The Nexus 7 is already speedy enough, but is there a benefit to overclocking to maybe 1.7GHz or 1.8GHz CPU?

if you're on 4.3, I can highly recommend franco.kernel. Great battery life, and allows overclocking.
Benefits are overclocking aren't really that great, especially if you can run everything fine. However, it does come in handy if you're playing graphics-intensive games and there is a bit of stutter.

ElementalX, Glitch, Bulletproof (ElementalX-based), to name a few. Running ElementalX 2.3 myself, and it's rather great :good:
Saw something about this, thought it was kind of cool.
I'm currently running 4.4.2, came across Gangstar Vegas, and it's an amazing game, it just stutters a bit. What would be a good kernel, and clock speed for running the game more smoothly? I don't care about battery life much because I'll just change the clock speed when I'm dome playing.
I'd clock it to 2.0GHz, but I don't want yo overheat the device. Suggestions?

Is there any way to have this double tap to wake feature without flashing a custom kernel? Maybe there's a .zip file that can be flashed to have this feature alone without being part of a kernel?

There's also an app in the Store which does the same thing but a) forgot the name (if I remember I will update this post) and b) it's not as low-level as this kernel and so I would assume it will use the battery even more than this. This ain't "free" as well, for the record
I think enabling volume button wake is also useful, as the volume rocker is much easier to find than the smaller power button. Not sure which kernel does that though.

The newest adreno drivers only prevent to some applications to randomly crash (like facebook). I also want to know why te bad 3D performance even using wind kernel.

I recently got Franco Kernel Manager and was messing around with the settings and I was trying to reduce the CPU clock speeds on the device and turn off one of the Cortex-X1 cores, but the device keeps resetting the clock speeds and turns on all the cores. The governor profiles do stick, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this? Also my Components Estimated Power Use is completely empty, how to fix that as well. Thanks!

Those settings get overwritten by the power-hal and other functions in the framework. You can't change them via a kernel manager.

Just because FKM hasn't been updated in a while doesn't mean it doesn't work... I just used it to flash a custom kernel on cheetah, I've used it on kebab as well. I like EXKM too but they basically have feature parity? I own both but prefer the more minimalistic look of FKM. No kernel manager will keep the frequencies you change. Please re-read this post:

Yeah but when will it become obsolete and won't work with the latest Android devices? I am aware that I cannot change the frequencies of the CPU and other things but at least getting EXKM will actively support the latest Android versions and devices
